Flash floods triggered by torrential rain have claimed at least 11 lives across the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, with several people still reported missing. Swollen rivers breached their banks, inundating low-lying areas, destroying homes and shops, and turning Rajouri’s bus stand into a graveyard of mangled vehicles. Rescue and relief operations are underway as authorities warn residents to stay away from riverbanks amid the continuing threat of heavy rainfall.
